Hello Greudin, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and manual of style pages are also useful. Feel free to experiment at the Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you have any questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. -- JeLuF

Hey Greudin. I took the pic from the Danish Wikipedia. See: http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billede:Colosseum-2003-07-09.jpg

[edit] EasyTimeline

Greuding, there are two issues here. Yes EasyTimeline does not handle UTF-8 code yet. I can't tell you when it will, as this is a significant adaptation, it involves custom font support for one thing. I will surely do this, I'm only very busy on another project right now. However you should still see something, an image with some garbled text, or when you input contains errors, an error box. Both do not happen on several Wikipedias, only old images are still shown, so someone made a change which disabled EasyTimeline, I tried wikitech yesterday but got no response, I'll try again. Cheers, Erik

EasyTimeline is back now. Is also handles UTF-8 characters within the ASCII extended range. However some common accented characters are missing from its internal font, like è. Later this year I will add support for external fonts with makes the whole unicode range available. Cheers, Erik Zachte 16:35, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Warsaw Uprising

There were some decent publications recently published in French. I haven't read them and cannot judge their value, but judging from various oppinions these are among the best:

  • Débâcle dans le camp des vainqueurs – action militaire polonaise 1939-1945, prof. Wojciech Roszkowski - one of the best historians we have here
  • L’insurrection de Varsovie. La bataille de l’été 1944 Alexandra Viatteau, Paris, Presses de l’université de Paris-Sorbonne, 2003
  • Varsovie insurgée, août 1944, Alexandra Viatteau, 1984
  • there is also a book mentioned here
  • short essay by T. Kondracki
  • You should refer to your local Polish embassy or consulate for more reading, they are usually helpful. Also, the Warsaw Uprising Museum in Warsaw has got a webpage in French.

[edit] Nomination

Hello Greudin,

I noticed that you seemed distressed that your nomination to become an administrator does not seem likely to succeed. Please realize that this is almost certainly not a result of francophobia. For example, User:Anthere, who is from France, has not only been elected an administrator on the English Wikipedia, but also a member of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees

Instead, your nomination is probably not receiving support because you have not made enough edits. Generally speaking, nominations with <~2000 edits are not successful. Another concern may be that you are not completely fulent in English. I suggest you wait a few months, amass about 2000 edits, become more familiar with general Wikipedia policies, and then re-nominate yourself with a message that has been checked by someone who is more fluent in English. I also suggest that you not make comments about an "anglo saxon hegemony". Most users of the English Wikipedia are from the United States and thus are not of Anglo-Saxon ethnicity, but more likely of German, Irish, Italian, or African background instead. I'm just offering these words as advice, but I think that if you listen, you have a better chance to become an administrator.

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Pic of the Day

Hi Greudin,

Just to let you know that your photograph Image:Abbey-of-senanque-provence-gordes.jpg is up for reuse on Pic of the Day on the 28th March. I've reused the caption from before, but you can make any changes at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/March 28, 2005. -- Solipsist 10:00, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wouhou ! I am now famous ;) Greudin (discuss.)

[edit] Synagogue Picture

I love the picture you took of the Art Nouveau Synagogue (Image:Synagogue-guimard-pavee-st-paris.jpg)! Could you tell a little bit more about the picture, where was it taken and what did you use? A digital camera or an optical one? Jester2001 11:28, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

I updated the description page, please check : commons:Image:Guimard-4eme-artnouveau-10-rue-pavee-synagogue.jpg. Another pics of it in the Hector Guimard's article. Greudin (discuss.)
Thanks for the update! Jester2001 15:40, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery

You have in the past edited William-Adolphe Bouguereau. A related article, the William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery has been nominated for deletion for violating WP:NOT (AfD here). A proposal to modify WP:NOT is here. Please join either or both conversations and comment as you see fit. Dsmdgold 16:56, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your note of congratulations on my talk page! As I explained there, I guess I'm just a boring guy. You can see from my user page, however, that I don't *only* talk about stations. Quite the opposite! :) Nach0king 00:10, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Yea, about the tremulous wikipedias. They kind of suck so far, because they all use under-the-rug wiki software. If you know anyone with hosting and related information, i could set up a better wiki using WikiMedia (what wikipedia uses).

[edit] Re: Mediawiki

Yes, but that doesnt give the flexibility of a home hosted site. If we could get someone to chip in for a 1&1 hosting package, their cheapest is 2 bucks, then we could set up a much better site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paradox4600 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
